MiraSpec is an analysis tool for engineers to design better and more cost-effective flexible paved roadways by incorporating geosynthetics. MiraSpec will allow the designer to perform flexible pavement Structural Number (SN) calculations based on AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) design methods, either with or without geosynthetics. In addition, the designer will be able to calculate material cost savings and also green savings that the addition of a geosynthetic will provide in the design.
DownloadOur New and Improved MiraSpec software is an analysis tool for engineers to design better and more cost-effective flexible paved and unpaved roadways by incorporating geosynthetics. MiraSpec allows the designer to perform flexible pavement Structural Number (SN) and Equivalent Single Axle Load (ESAL) calculations based on AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) 1993 design method and gravel thickness and cost savings comparisons using the Giroud-Han (2004) design method. Both sets of design calculations can be performed either with or without geosynthetics. In addition, designers will be able to calculate thickness reduction savings and "green" savings that the addition of a geosynthetic will provide in the design.
